Hello,
Currently DPM 2012 R2 does not support protecting Exchange 2016. I would like to know if this may influence your plans for deploying Exchange 2016, and or force you to use an alternate backup solution until support is added to DPM in the future.
If you feel it is very important to get support added sooner rather than later, please visit the Azure Backup and SCDPM site and add a new request or vote on an existing entry for that if one is found. Your feedback can influence timing, so if it's important, please provide feedback.
